RS Plays Better But Wolves Prevail


On Thursday at Crossroads Park in Rock Springs the RS Tigers faced their arch rivals the GR Wolves in the second leg of the Sweetwater Cup. The Tigers were looking to avenge their earlier embarrassing defeat by upsetting the Wolves. This match was a classic rivalry match and saw the Tigers come to play for 80 minutes. However the Wolves got on the board first when the initial GR shot was saved by Gus Wagner but the deflection found a Wolves' feet and he scored in the 19th minute of play. This was the only score in the first half. The Tigers did see a couple of legitimate chances in the first 40 minutes of play including a header by Alex Arambel. The Tigers game plan seemed to be working as the heavily favored Wolves were frustrated in the 2nd half by the improved play of the Tigers. Then Green River sealed their win by two goal, one in the 61st minute and the other in the 69th minute. The Tigers kept trying and pressing forward to get a goal or two and get into the match but attempts by Riley Yerkovich, Jesse Love, Storie Ratcliff and Pat Walker just could not find the net. The final score was GR 3 - RS 0. The loss puts the Tiger's record at 3 - 6 - 1 and 2 - 4 - 0 in the 4A West Conference race.

Game Stats - Shots; RS 7, GR 12 - Assists; RS 0, GR 3 - Saves; RS 5, GR 4 - Corner Kicks; RS 4, GR 4 - Cards; RS 0, GR 2

Man of the Match - Riley Yerkovich for 80 great and solid minutes of play and superb leadership.

On Monday in Rock Springs the JV Tigers and Wolves squared off again for the second time in less than a week. Green River scored in the 26th minute to start the scoring. Tyler Legerski tied the score off an assist from Jake Jessen in the 38th to tie the score at half. Green River won in the 73rd off an indirect kick in the box to win 2-1.

Man of the Match- Jake Jessen- excellent defense and earning his first offensive point of career.

Up Next for the Tigers - Friday April 30th versus Natrona County at Crossroads Park in Rock Springs at 3:00pm JV and 5:00pm Varsity.
